Insurance and other documents

 

Among insurance documents there are insurance policies and insurance certificates. There is a certain difference between the two but it is very subtle and sometimes, besides, they are sued interchangeably. These documents state what goods are insures, in whose name they are insured, against what risks, for what amount, at what premium ['pri:mIqm] and so on.

 

Here is a part of a specimen insurance policy:

 

INGOSSTRAKH

Insurance Policy # 338

 

This is to certify the insurance cover to the order of Chemico, Moscow, of: Chemicals ST, gross weight packed 5100 kgs, net weight 5000 kgs in 100 plastic bags in favour of: Petro Co Ltd Liverpool for the amount of: 875,000.00 English pounds sterling (eight hundred and seventy five thousand English pounds sterling)

 

Shipped from: Riga to Liverpool

on board vessel: Alexander Pushkin

on: 20 November, 2011

against: war, fire and marine [mq'ri:n] risks

premium: as agreed

 

Besides insurance documents, transport documents, commercial invoices some other documents may be involved in business transactions in accordance with contracts. They are:

• import/export licenses
• customs declarations
• consular ['kPnsjVlq] invoices*
• veterinary  ['vet(q)rIn(q)rI] certificates
• phytosanitary certificates and others ['faItq(V)-]**

 

 

* Консульский счет – счет, которые заверяется консулом страны импортера. Такой счет нередко нужен для грузов, экспортируемых за рубеж для подтверждения происхождения товара, его цены и стоимости всей партии. Обычно этот счет необходим из-за языковых трудностей.

 

** Фитосанитарный сертификат - международный документ, выдаваемый органами стран-экспортеров в отношении растений, находящийся в карантине или под карантином (это такие растения, которые могут стать распространителями болезней), или растений, охраняемых государством (например, редких).

 

 

Bank guarantees

 

Very often contracts stipulate that the buyers are to provide a first-class bank guarantee to avoid failures in payment, if contracts envisage payment on a collection basis, on credit etc. If the chemicals had been bought on such terms a specimen bank guarantee might look like this:

 

Midland Bank Limited* London

Guarantee # 1160 – Contract No 33-2

Chemico Co., Moscow

 

We herey irrevocably and unconditionally  undertake to pay to Chemico Co., Moscow the sum of GBP 1750,000.00 (one million seven hundred and fifty thousand English pounds sterling) if this amount is not paid at maturity by Petro Co., Liverpool, England for the shipment of 10 000 kgs of Chemicals ST under the above Contract made between Chemico Co., Moscow and Petro Co., Liverpool.

 

Your simple claim in writing should certify that the Buyers have failed to make due payment.

 

The amount shall be credited to the account indicated by you, not later than 30 days after the bill of lading date against the commercial invoice and shipping documents stipulated by the Contract.

 

This letter of guarantee is valid until 1 April, 1999 if the documents have been presented within the validity of this guarantee.

 

Expenses in connection with the opening and utilization of this letter of guarantee are to be borne by the National Bank, Liverpool

 

Yours faithfully,

p.p.Midland Bank Limited
